Walnuts (1 Nut), Almonds (1 Almond) and Raisins (Seedless) (50 Raisins)

Reduce the raisin portion first: measure a small serving (for example, 1 tablespoon) rather than eating from the bag, since dried fruit is concentrated in sugars.

Keep almonds and walnuts as the larger share of the snack, and use raisins as a small topping instead of the main component.

Eat the snack after or alongside a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair a small raisin portion with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to add protein and slow absorption.

Choose unsweetened, uncoated nuts and avoid mixes containing added sugar, honey, chocolate, or sweetened dried fruit.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help reduce the post-meal rise.
